As rumors swirled all day Wednesday regarding possible trade destinations for New Orleans Hornets guard Eric Gordon, it seemed unlikely he would be moved by Thursday’s trading deadline because of the size of his contract and his continued absence from the court in the second of back-to-back games.

The New Orleans Hornets have acquired guard Jerryd Bayless from the
Portland Trail Blazers in a trade exchange for a future first-round
pick, league sources confirmed Saturday night.Bayless solidifies the
Hornets’ backup point guard spot before the regular season. The Hornets’
roster now stands at 16 and they have until Tuesday to meet the
league-maximum requirement 15 players. New Orleans opens the regular
season Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks at the New Orleans
Arena.

Bayless, 6 feet 3, 200 pounds, averaged 8.5 points and 2.3 assists in 74 games last season for the Trail Blazers

Doug Collins couldn’t get a bite from the 76ers when their coaching job
was open last summer, but he has – according to a source familiar with
the situation – drawn interest now from the New Orleans Hornets.

As Hornets players gathered at the Alario Center on Thursday morning, team president Hugh Weber met with captains Chris Paul and David West to inform them that Coach Byron Scott was fired and his replacement would be General Manager Jeff Bower.

The Washington Post is reporting that "The phone will likely ring again this summer for the 7-foot-1 Chandler,
who nearly joined the Thunder for the low, low price of the expiring
contracts of Joe Smith and Chris Wilcox and rights to second-round pick
Devon Hardin."
